Basic rules are 4 players, everyone dealt 13(yes) cards. You make 3 hands
A front, middle and back hand. The front hand is 3 cards, the middle hand 5 and back is 5. The back hand must beat the front hand, and the middle hand is played for low(27)

The scorign was basically you win 1 point for each hand you beat, and lose 1 for each hand that beats you.

Anyways I'm dealt
A K J 7
J 9 6
8 2
K 9 8 5

How would you play this?

I apologize for not giving a lot of info, I really wasnt focussed on the game at all.

this game is called Chinese Poker correct?

Front KKA

Middle 87652

Back JJ998

Basically forfeit winning the back hand and hope you nail the front and middle, I have a hard time seeing you lose both of these at any rate, so if you do lose at least its not 3 out of 3.

Chinese poker is played the same way only there is no low hand, the back must beat the middle hand, which must beat the front hand.

Yeah thats how the ony guy introduced the game, but anotehr suggested 2-7 for the middle hand. So its basically a CP variant?

it's just rearranging the cards

I've played maybe 100 hands of this game online. The Tiger skins have it.
